Get Your Free Tempe Moving Quote
Tell us your move size, both addresses and any building or HOA rules. Your quote is free and itemized, with no hidden fees.
Tempe packs a major university, a lakefront office district and quiet south-side neighborhoods into one city, so no two moves here look alike.
From the busy streets near Mill Avenue to high-density apartment complexes close to ASU, Jones Moving & Storage has the local knowledge and operational experience to plan and run moves throughout Tempe. A high-rise condo near Tempe Town Lake usually means booking a freight elevator and a loading dock time. A ranch house in south Tempe calls for a crew that respects the HOA’s rules and the neighbors’ driveways. A student apartment off Apache Boulevard calls for a crew that can work fast during the busiest week of the year.
Steve and Candice Jones own and run the company, and their two sons are part of the business today, so the family name on the truck is the family that plans your Tempe move. Our local movers arrive prepared, communicate openly and treat your belongings with the same respect we would want for our own.
Jones Moving & Storage offers a full range of moving and storage services, so a single company handles your move from the first packed box to the last piece of furniture placed.
First homes, bigger homes for growing families, and downsizing after the kids leave. Furniture padded, wrapped and placed in the right rooms.
Student housing near ASU, downtown towers and garden-style complexes, plus small moves and single items.
Business relocations planned to keep downtime low, so desks, files and equipment land in the right place.
Sturdy boxes, bubble wrap, packing paper, furniture pads, stretch wrap and mattress covers, plus unpacking.
Leaving Arizona, or coming to Tempe for a new job or a graduate program, with careful coordination from pickup to delivery.
Upright pianos, baby grands and concert grands, moved with specialized equipment and extra care.
Hot tubs from south Tempe backyards and garages, planned into your move from the start.
Secure, climate-controlled storage, short or long term, for when your closing date and move-out date don't line up.
The city has a large and varied apartment market, from student housing near ASU to newer towers downtown and garden-style complexes further south. Our apartment moving team handles elevators, narrow hallways, shared loading areas and building move windows, and we take on small moves and single items too.
Packing on your own? Ask about moving supplies when you book. Prefer to hand it off? Our professional packers pack your things, and unpacking is available too.
Tell us about both buildings:
Four steps take you from the first phone call to furniture set up in your new rooms.
Tell us your move size, both addresses, the floor, and whether there are stairs, an elevator or a gate. Your quote comes back clear and itemized, with no hidden fees.
We go over your building's move hours, elevator or loading dock reservations, gate codes and where the truck can park. If you live in an HOA community, send us its rules on truck parking and move times.
Your crew arrives on time, protects your belongings and your property, takes apart beds and tables when needed, and loads the truck in a planned order.
At your new place we unload, place furniture where you want it, and reassemble anything we took apart. If you booked unpacking, we unpack your boxes too. If the scope changes along the way, such as extra rooms or a third stop, we tell you about any price change before we go ahead.
The price of your move depends on how much you’re moving and how easy it is to get in and out of each address. Every Jones Moving & Storage quote is free, itemized and has no hidden fees, so you see what drives your price before moving day.
Your quote is built on your actual move, not a guess. For an exact number, request a free quote with your move size, both addresses and access details.
What your Tempe quote shows:
A studio near campus and a four-bedroom house in south Tempe are very different jobs. The number of rooms matters, and so does how full each room is.
A third-floor walk-up, a shared elevator with a reserved window, or a long walk from the loading zone all add time.
Downtown streets near Mill Avenue have limited curb space, while most south Tempe homes have a driveway the truck can use.
A move across Tempe costs less than a move to the West Valley or out of state.
Packing, unpacking, storage and specialty items such as a piano or hot tub are added only if you want them.
Late July and August, month-end dates and weekends book up first, so flexible dates give you more options.
Tempe has plenty of moving companies, from national franchises to one-truck operators. A good mover should be easy to check before you book, so use this list for any Tempe movers you’re considering, including us.
Search it on the FMCSA SAFER system. Ours is USDOT #1851763, with MC #670510.
Find out how your things are covered while they are in the mover’s care, and which valuation option covers your move.
Then you know what is included and what would change the price.
A company that asks about elevators, stairs, gates and parking during the quote is planning your move, not guessing at it.
Look for reviews that describe moves like yours, and look up the company’s BBB rating.

Every part of the city has its own moving logistics. Here is how to plan for the main ones.
Downtown and the lakefront along Rio Salado Parkway are home to high-rise apartments, condos and office towers such as the Marina Heights campus. Before you pick a date, ask your building how freight elevator and loading dock reservations work, and pass the answers on with your quote request.
The Tempe Streetcar shares Mill Avenue and Rio Salado Parkway with traffic, and ASU football games and lake events at Tempe Beach Park bring crowds, so choose a date away from game days and big lake events when you can.
The blocks around ASU’s main campus, along University Drive, Apache Boulevard and Rural Road, are full of off-campus apartments that turn over at the same time each year. Ask your complex whether it sets move-in times or takes elevator reservations, book early, and ask for a small move quote.
Established neighborhoods close to campus, such as Maple-Ash, mix older single-family homes, duplexes and small apartment buildings. On-street parking can be tight, so tell us where the truck can stand and how far the crew will carry, and we plan the move around it.
South Tempe is quieter and mostly single-family. Many homes here are larger and have pools, patio furniture and garages full of tools. If your community has an HOA, send us its rules on trucks and move times. Moving a hot tub or a gun safe from the garage? We move those too.
The city has several senior living communities, including high-rise residences near the ASU campus. We help with downsizing, pack and move only what fits the new space, and set up the furniture. Whatever you leave behind, we donate to Saving Amy, a Phoenix nonprofit.
Our crews and trucks run from our Phoenix headquarters at 20813 N 19th Ave, Suite 3, and reach Tempe by I-17 and I-10 or by the Loop 101. Our familiarity with Valley roads helps our Tempe movers plan the route, the timing and the crew for your move.
Two things shape the best date for your move here: the university calendar and the summer heat.
ASU lease season in late July and August. Many student leases around ASU start and end in late July and August, when the fall semester begins, and again in May at the end of the spring semester. During those weeks, elevators are booked solid and moving dates disappear fast. If your move falls then, book as early as you can.
Summer heat. From June through September, afternoons here regularly top 100 degrees. Early starts are easier on the crew and on heat-sensitive items such as electronics, candles, vinyl records, medications and houseplants. Ask for an early-morning start, and carry heat-sensitive items in your air-conditioned car.
How far ahead to book:
A family-run company with credentials you can look up yourself, and crews that plan around Tempe's buildings, streets and heat.
Steve took his first moving job at 16, back in Birmingham, Michigan, and a cross-country move later brought him and Candice to Arizona, where they settled in Phoenix for good.
Our credentials are easy to check: USDOT #1851763, MC #670510, and BBB accreditation since 2010, with a current A+ rating.
On Google, our Phoenix listing is rated 4.9 stars across more than 300 reviews, and customers name the crew members who moved them.
We hold our movers to a high standard of conduct on every job, because we know we're working in your home with the things you value most.
Packing, loading, transport, unpacking and storage between move dates all come from one family-run company, so there is no second vendor to coordinate.

Here is how three customers described their moves on Google: last-minute help on a hot day, an apartment-to-house move and a move in the middle of the summer heat.
Amazing movers and services. I needed help last minute and called, they came early, we got them waters for the hot day and they moved everything within 4 hours with amazing pricing. Highly recommend.
KT, Google review, August 2026
We moved from an apartment to a house and Jones Moving Company was great all around. Easy to schedule, fair price and professional movers. Would absolutely hire them again.
Jamie P., Google review, September 2022
They were great even moved me in the middle of the summer in the heat. They were on time and polite and careful with my belongings I will use them again.

Planning a move in Tempe, AZ? Send us your move size, both addresses and any building or HOA rules, and you'll get a free, itemized quote.
We serve Tempe from our Phoenix headquarters at 20813 N 19th Ave, Suite 3. Our crews reach Tempe by I-17 and I-10 or by the Loop 101.
Tempe shares borders with several of the cities we serve, so if your move starts here and ends next door, the same crew handles both ends.
The cost depends on the size of your move, access at both addresses (stairs, elevators, parking and how far the truck stands from your door), the distance between them, and extras such as packing, storage or a piano. Jones Moving & Storage gives you a free, itemized quote with no hidden fees, and we tell you about any price change before we go ahead if the scope changes.
For Tempe, the standard lead time is 4 to 6 weeks for a local move and 6 to 8 weeks for long distance. If you’re moving near ASU in late July, August or May, book earlier, because student lease turnover fills calendars and building elevators quickly. Working with a tighter timeline? Call anyway, because shorter notice can often be accommodated.
We serve all of Tempe, including downtown and Mill Avenue, the Tempe Town Lake and Rio Salado Parkway area, the neighborhoods around the ASU campus such as Maple-Ash, and south Tempe communities such as The Lakes, Lakeshore and Warner Ranch. We also move customers between Tempe and Mesa, Chandler, Gilbert, Scottsdale, Phoenix and the rest of the Valley.
Yes. Before moving day we confirm your building’s move hours, work with you and building management to reserve the freight elevator or loading dock, and plan where the truck will park. We protect your belongings and your property, and we plan the work to finish inside your building’s window. Tell us about both buildings when you request your quote.
Yes. Licensed and insured, Jones Moving & Storage operates under USDOT #1851763 and MC #670510. The company has been a BBB Accredited Business since 2010 and holds an A+ rating, and our family has worked in moving for over 35 years. Anyone can check the USDOT number on the FMCSA SAFER site before booking a Tempe move.
Yes. Jones Moving & Storage can store your things short term or long term as part of the same move. We pick up from your current home or apartment, keep your belongings in storage, and deliver them when your new place is ready. Students between leases and families waiting on a closing date both use this, so you don’t need to rent a truck twice.
Tipping is a personal choice and never required. Many people base it on how long the job took, how much heavy lifting or how many stairs it involved, and the care the crew showed. On a hot summer day, cold water and a short break in the shade are always appreciated. A Google review that names crew members is another way to say thanks.
Check the company’s USDOT number on the FMCSA SAFER website, get an itemized quote in writing, and ask how your belongings are covered during the move. Read recent reviews and the BBB rating. A mover that asks about your elevators, stairs, gates and parking during the quote is planning your move instead of guessing, which usually means fewer surprises on moving day.
